Toughest Job You’ll Ever Love

My group started out with 51 trainees, of which 47 sworn in. The current number of volunteers that are in country, and not on vacation, stands at 37. That’s just shy of 30% that are not here now. Those in my cohort who have moved on from their time with Peace Corps did so for a variety of reasons, all very compelling. For some, leaving was made easier because Peace Corps is difficult. For others, life got in the way and leaving was just as difficult as staying. Each has their own path with this experience.
